“Die My Love”

6.2

This reminded me a lot of Jennifer Lawrence’s other strange film that mostly takes place in a house where someone has writer’s block – “Mother!” This film, too, left me utterly befuddled. Alas, I made it to the end, even if it was out of spite. I can’t really tell you what the journey was for, but I can guarantee you it was WEIRD. Disturbing imagery and nonsensical narrative keeps you guessing pretty much from the first frame to the last. Be prepared to want to take a cold shower after this one…

“Together”

7.2

This will now be what I imagine when my girlfriend says she wants to get closer…

Body horror at its finest with the weirdest, yet perfect Hollywood couple who are the only two I can think of who could pull of this insanity. If you have a weak stomach, bring a barf bag. This one doesn’t hold back. The most moist thing I’ve seen since “The Substance.” Don’t say I didn’t warn you… it gets WEIRD.

“Jane Austen Wrecked My Life”

By Brett_G on January 25, 2026January 16, 2026

7.4

Such a bizarre love triangle, with the backdrop of a literary competition… I didn’t expect it to work as well as it did. A little cliche, but with enough charm to carry it across the finish line. You almost won’t mind the French.

“Far and Away”

8.1

Once you get past Tom Cruise’s goofy ass Irish accent, this actually develops into a really good love story. The chemistry between Cruise and Kidman is palpable as they navigate this “Romeo & Juliet” like tale of forbidden love, danger, and adventure in the wild west. Cheesy? Oh hell yeah… but it’s also incredibly fun and has a lot of heart. Greg from “Dharma & Greg” never stood a chance…

“Wish You Were Here”

6.4

This one is just as clunky as the trailer… like “what the hell just happened?! How did we get here?!” kind of narrative whiplash. Technical aspects aside, the chemistry between the leads is there in droves… it’s just that they’re abandoned on this island with nothing to help them out. There are certainly moments of brilliance here, they just didn’t string any of them together.
